One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This is an urgent and necessary reckoning about what it means to live in the West today. As an immigrant, Omar El Akkad believed the West offered freedom and justice for all. Over the past twenty years he reported on the various Wars on Terror, Ferguson, climate change, Black Lives Matter protests, and more. He won awards for his journalism and his fiction. But now, watching the unmitigated slaughter in Gaza, he comes to the conclusion that much of what the West promises is a lie.
This powerful book is a chronicle of Omar's painful realisation, a moral grappling with what it means - as a citizen, as a father - to carve out some sense of possibility during these devastating times. This is a book for those that have tired of moral emptiness. This is a book for everyone who wants something better.

I wish this was fiction
With this book Omar El Akkad captured the gruesome happenings in Gaza up to the start of this year but also a part of himself. He writes about his history, his belonging. El Akkad tells two stories in one book. One shows his own upbringing in Egypt and Qatar and later his career as a journalist. Because of this it felt more like reading a bunch of articles but I personally liked that about this book. The other story states facts that make you wish this was fiction. He does this precisely and brutally honest and I think that this is very important for a book like this.
